In the first month of Fiscal Year 2019, Trump’s State Department admitted its initial group of refugees, mostly UN-selected, toward its proposed cap of 30,000 for resettlement this year.
They are being quietly distributed to approximately 170 towns and cities.
If the DOS kept this same pace, 1,830 a month, we would come in just under 22,000 for the year that ends September 30, 2019. In fiscal year 2018, we admitted 22,491 as the final number. (These numbers do not include the thousands granted asylum each month or the Special Immigrant visa entries who mostly come from Iraq and Afghanistan and get the same benefits as the regular DOS refugees.)
Here (below) is where they went (from Wrapsnet).
Washington state gets the honor of being the number one welcoming state for the month.
1,615, or 88%, came from 4 countries: DR Congo (608), Eritrea (358), Ukraine (345), and Burma (304).
362 of the total 1,830 are Muslims of one sect or another with the largest number 126 from Burma. Those would most likely be Rohingya Muslims.
